Find the HCF and LCM of 6,72,120 using the prime factorisation method.Is the product of the numbers equalto products of HCF and LCM ?
6 = 2 `\times` 3
= `2^1` `\times` `3^1`

= `2^3` `\times` `3^2`


= `2^1` `\times` `3^1`
72 = 2 `\times` 2 `\times` 2 `\times` 3 `\times` 3
= `2^3` `\times` `3^2`
120 = 2 `\times` 2 `\times` 2 `\times` 3 `\times` 5
= `2^3` `\times` `3^1` `\times` `5^1`
HCF = Product of smallest power of each common prime factor
= `2^1` `\times` `3^1`
= 6
LCM = Product of greatest power of each common prime factor
= `2^3` `\times` `3^2` `\times` 5
= 8 `\times` 9 `\times` 5
= 360
